The paper introduces the concept of applying Natural User
Interface (NUI) interactions in the context of Integrated Development
Environments (IDEs). Human voice and gestures
are mapped to several IDE commends. A prototype tool is
developed using the Microsoft Kinect hardware sensors and
the available software development kits for Microsoft Visual
Studio. A pilot study was conducted to assess the developed
prototype. The results of the study suggest that it
might be possible to apply natural interactions to a range of
IDE capabilities.
